I am surprised to hear that someone would not purchase a mini bulldog whom was not AKC, but did not realize that AKC does not reckognize mini bulldogs. No size specification like with poodles. To my knowledge, there is only one place that does, and it is the mini bulldog club. What should that tell us? There are certainly smaller bulldogs, but they are registered as bulldogs (unless by this club) none the less. The history of the breeding program thus far in no way supports any sort of reasonable expectation that a 'mini' bulldog will be 'mini'. If your registration information says bulldog, it is hard to say you bought something different. If you do not recieve any registration (and even if you do), I would do a DNA test (my last DNA test through AKC only cost me like $35 or $40 or something) at a reputable, stress the reputable, source if the animal is represented as the offspring of two purebred dogs of the same breed (especially on paper). Sometimes the 'mini' can mean a breed other than bulldog. If you are considering purchasing this breed, please take the above into account, and make sure you do your research, and in places other than just breeder websites.
